There are a few bluetooth speakers that don't get along well with iOS 12 and mixed audio sources. I expect this will be fixed in iOS 13, but in the meantime you will probably just need to use a long aux cord to your speaker rather than bluetooth.

There is a new beta version 2.5.11 of Walkout Song DJ for Apple devices available today 3/19/19.

The primary feature of the beta is support for mixing Apple Music songs with announcements. For Apple music subscription songs, the playback interface from Apple is very limited and required a more complex approach. I think I have most of the kinks worked out on that and a beta is finally ready. Message me your email address here or on facebook if you would like to participate.

The only known issue with the mixing feature beta is some muting of the announcement on a small number of bluetooth devices combined with iOS 12. The feature is not workable with those devices unless you use a long aux cable rather than bluetooth.

To those using the iOS version with Apple Music and getting file not found errors shortly after adding a song to Walkout Songs... there was a bug in the app that prevented location of Apple Music songs picked from playlists that were never added to the iTunes library individually. This is now fixed in version 2.5.11 and released to the app store today 3/20/19. I do use phased release with updates over 7 days, so you may need to search for the app in the appstore and manually get the update if you need it quicker.

Regarding the mixing option on Apple devices... that was initially released only supporting purchased or imported songs. For Apple music subscription songs, the playback interface from Apple is very limited and required a more complex approach. I think I have most of the kinks worked out on that and support for mixing all song types was released today 3/20/19. I use phased release with updates over 7 days, so you may need to search for the app in the appstore and manually get the update if you need it quicker.

The only known issue with the mixing feature is muting of the announcement on a small number of bluetooth devices combined with iOS 12. The feature is not workable with those devices unless you use a long aux cable rather than bluetooth.

Changes for this release:- added support for mixing purchased songs with announcements (Not supported with Apple Music Subscription songs)- added text to speech pitch setting on config page- fix bug where order of players and songs lost in export/import process

If you are not currently on the Apple beta list and would like to test the new features, PM me here with your Apple ID email address and I can add you to the list.

I have been testing the 2.4.2 version of the app with iOS 12 and though most functionality is working, there are significant new issues with the iOS12 handling of mixed audio sources to a bluetooth speaker. The result is inconsistant muting of announcements and song playback.

I am working on an update to workaround the iOS issues, but it is quite a mess and will likely require delays during switching of sources. There also is an iOS 12.1 in beta that may address the issue.

Options for you would be to wait for my fix or just use a long aux cord to the speaker rather than bluetooth. Considering the general latency of bluetooth, I would recommend the aux cord as a much better performance approach always.

Changes for this release:-added support for iPhoneX screen layout-reduce delay between announcement & walkout song in before mode-fix number sequence bug in inc/dec of cue time -silence the stutter in first Apple Music song playback after app open
